Neymar, according to former Manchester United
midfielder Paul Scholes.
England international Rashford netted the winner in
United's Europa League quarter-final tie against
Anderlecht on Thursday, taking his tally for the
season to 10 goals in all competitions.
And with key man Zlatan Ibrahimovic injured in
that clash, Rashford has the opportunity to start in
a striking role for United - a position Scholes
hopes he can prove himself in.
"Rashford will be a brilliant centre-forward, there is
no doubt about that," Scholes told BBC Radio 5
Live. "His pace is incredible. He's almost the
club's most important player now at the age of 19.
"What we saw against Anderlecht was that raw
pace, the excitement, skill and ability to fly past
people as if they are not there.
"He probably needs to work on his composure with
the chances he is getting, start putting his chances
away - I am sure he will."He has always been a centre forward. When I saw
him playing for the young United teams, he was
scoring 30-40 goals a season. I know this lad can
finish and score goals.
"I am just a little bit worried that he is so quick he
may get shoved out wide, which is not a bad thing.
"You look at Cristiano Ronaldo's record and
players like Neymar, he has that kind of ability. It
is a lot to live up to, but he has that in him - he can
be a world star."
